Con il trailer che vedete qui sotto, la Codemasters annuncia a sorpresa il nuovo DiRT 5, quinto capitolo della saga rallystica ormai conosciuta in tutto il mondo del racing game sterrato e non solo. La prima caratteristica interessante del gioco, sarà quella di essere un titolo pensato e sviluppato apposta per le macchine "next gen". E' già possibile pre ordinare il gioco tramite Steam, al prezzo di 54,99€ per la versione standard e ben 74,99€ per la DIRT 5 Amplified Edition.

A quanto pare la serie DiRT di Codemasters torna - a sorpresa - solo su PC, almeno in questa particolare versione apparsa in queste ore sull'Accesso Anticipato di Steam: il nuovo DiRT Rally è infatti disponibile in early access, acquistabile a 29,99 euro (a 26,99 euro in questo momento grazie allo sconto del 10%). Si tratta di un arrivo a sorpresa, indubbiamente, visto che un nuovo DiRT aleggiava da tempo nell'aria ma non era stato ancora annunciato nulla di ufficiale da parte del publisher. Codemasters ha deciso di percorrere la strada dell'Accesso Anticipato per il nuovo capitolo, affidandosi anche alla community per ricevere feedback e suggerimenti su come portare avanti lo sviluppo del gioco, oltre a poter utilizzare un sistema di finanziamento indipendente prima del lancio del gioco in forma completa. Qui di seguito trovate il tipico trailer di lancio con alcuni screens in game.

Ragazzi, era prevista una novità da parte dei Codies ed eccola: http://www.dirt4game.com/uk Fantastico il tool previsto per creare prove speciali. Con un annuncio ed un trailer pubblicati a sorpresa, Codemasters ha svelato oggi il nuovo DiRT 4, capitolo che riprende la numerazione classica della serie dopo DiRT Rally, per il quale è in arrivo un DLC dedicato alla PlayStation VR. DiRT 4 è un'evoluzione nella simulazione rallystica per il team britannico, con alcune novità interessanti, a cominciare da un sistema chiamato "Your Stage" che consente agli utenti di creare nuovi tracciati attraverso un potente editor che permette di espandere i contenuti di gioco a dismisura, scegliendo l'ambientazione ed una serie di parametri specifici. DiRT 4, nelle intenzioni di Codemasters, si pone nel mezzo fra la simulazione realistica di un DiRT Rally e il divertimento immediato di DiRT 2 e 3, senza dimenticare le fondamenta dei vari Colin McRae Rally ed aggiungendo le licenze ufficiali del FIA World Rallycross Championship. L'uscita del gioco è prevista per giugno 2017 su PC, PlayStation 4 e Xbox One. Yes, you read it right – DiRT 4 is coming! Today, we’re delighted to announce that DiRT 4 will fearlessly race to PS4, Xbox One and Windows PC in June 2017. Hot on the heels of 2016’s critically and commercially successful DiRT Rally, DiRT 4 takes the passion and authenticity of off-road racing to the next level, whilst also re-introducing you all to white-knuckle truck and buggy racing in Landrush. Motorsport by its very nature is dangerous – it says so on the back of the ticket. DiRT 4 is all about embracing that danger. It’s about the thrill, exhilaration and adrenaline that is absolutely vital to off-road racing. And more than that, it’s about loving that feeling. It’s about pushing flat out next to a sheer cliff drop. Going for the gap that’s slightly too small. Seeing how much air you can get in a truck. They call it ‘being fearless’ – and this is what we aim to inspire in DiRT 4. DiRT 4 features a game-changing system called Your Stage; an innovative rally route creation tool that allows you to produce an almost-infinite number of unique stages at the press of a button. You choose your location and set the route parameters, then Your Stage does the hard work to create a unique rally stage that you can race, share with your friends, and then challenge them to beat your time. Your Stage allows experienced rally players to create longer, more technical routes, whilst newcomers can create simpler shorter routes as they hone their skills. With DiRT 4, we’ve sought to combine the levels of thrill and realism from last year’s DiRT Rally with the fearless excitement, fun, and adrenaline-fuelled races previously seen in its critically acclaimed prequels DiRT 2 and DiRT 3. Featuring classic rally racing that continues to build on the foundations set by the Colin McRae Rally games, the brutal, fast-paced racing from the official FIA World Rallycross Championship, the crazy battles of racing trucks and buggies, and the outrageous fun of open events in Joyride, players will face challenges from locations that span three continents. We can’t wait to tell you more of DiRT 4, so stay tuned for the road to launch – we’ve got so much to show you.

A quasi un mese dal lancio dell'ultima build "dirt", ovvero dedicata alle gare su sterrato, il team di iRacing annuncia la nuova partnership con la serie USAC (United States Auto Club), grazie alla quale potremo metterci al volante delle divertenti Sprint Car da terra senza alettoni. iRacing.com announced today that is joining forces with the United States Auto Club (USAC) as the famed sanctioning body’s premier online motorsports simulation partner. The agreement will see iRacing develop online racing series featuring digital versions of the cars that compete in the popular AMSOIL USAC National Sprint Car Championship. “We’re excited to partner with USAC in creating official iRacing series for our 410 and 360 non-winged sprint cars,” says Steve Myers, Executive Vice President and Executive Producer for iRacing.com. “The AMSOIL USAC National Sprint Car Championship is rightly known for some of the most competitive racing to be found on dirt – or any surface for that matter. I’m sure sim racers everywhere will be eager to sling some dirt in iRacing’s non-wing USAC sprint cars.” Although the partnership initially focuses on sprint cars, iRacing’s future plans include additional USAC-based online series on legendary dirt tracks like Eldora, Kokomo and Belleville raceways. “Joining forces with iRacing enables us to make an exciting new dimension in racing available to our fans in the United States and around the world,” says USAC President and CEO Kevin Miller. “We’re thrilled with the opportunity and look forward to participating in the rapidly growing sim racing community in the months and years to come.”

Sarà disponibile il 29 marzo, probabilmente in nottata, la nuova ed attesa build di iRacing, ricca di novità e contenuti inediti. Oltre alle varie migliorie e bug fix solite, la nuova release del simulatore americano ci metterà finalmente a disposizione le nuove vetture e tracciati da sterrato, molto in voga negli USA. Con varie scontistiche spiegate qui sotto, possiamo acquistare le Dirt Late Model, Dirt Winged Sprint Car ed i circuiti di Eldora Speedway, Volusia Speedway Park e Williams Grove Speedway. Per gli appassionati di stock car invece, la nuova build offre il 2017 NASCAR Monster Energy rules package, ovvero un pacchetto di aggiornamento con tutte le nuove regole 2017 della stagione Nascar e la nuova Toyota Monster Energy Cup. Sim racers around the world have been looking forward to getting down and dirty ever since iRacing announced plans to develop its dirt racing feature. Now that dirt racing is a reality on iRacing, it’s important to understand that racing on digital dirt differs from racing on virtual pavement in significant ways. Who better to explain some of those differences than Tyler Hudson? A two time iRacing Daytona 500 winner and 2013 NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze Series champion, the Brandon, MS resident also has plenty of real world experience racing on dirt having run a full Late Model season at Jackson Motor Speedway as well as scores of Street Stock and Mini-Stock races, not to mention besting all comers in the dirt portion of the 2014 PEAK Stock Car Dream Challenge. Since joining the iRacing staff as Competition and Customer Service Associate, Hudson has been deeply involved in the testing and development of the iRacing dirt tracks and cars. As with pavement cars, iRacers can purchase dirt cars at any and all performance level, but Tyler advises dirt track newbies to start slowly, so to speak. “If you're new to dirt you would definitely want to start by doing single car testing sessions with the Street Stock or Legends Cars,” he says. “Once you’re comfortable turning laps by yourself jump into a open practice session and start getting comfortable driving the car around other people. When you reach the stage where you feel like you can control the car in traffic, go ahead and attempt your first race." Click here or here to read the full story. Great things come to those who wait. At long last, dirt track racing arrives on iRacing on March 29, and a slew of fantastic cars and legendary tracks are now available for pre-sale. Where to begin?

Yes, dirt oval racing is coming to iRacing on March 29th but so are the 2017 NASCAR Monster Energy rules package updates to the iRacing cup cars! Senior Vehicle Dynamics Engineer and former Team Penske Race Engineer, Steve Reis explains. The aero map on the iRacing cup cars has been completely reworked to represent the 2017 body style and NASCAR rules package. We have also updated the suspension geometry and made adjustments to the garage setup ranges to represent typical 2017 NASCAR chassis/setup ranges and rules package. o Minimum front springs increased to 500lb/in o Maximum front swaybar preload decreased to -500lb-ft o Swaybar rates decreased to more realistic values o Maximum Trackbar rake set to 4” o Maximum Rear Toe set to +1/8” LR and 0 RR. o Minimum LR spring increased to 100lb/in o Superspeedway frame heights set to 6” | 8” So what does that mean to the driver? 2013 NASCAR Peak Antifreeze champion Tyler Hudson explains. From a driver’s standpoint the most noticeable difference will be that entry and exit do not have that “light” feeling anymore. In the current physics model when you lift for the corner the front feels like it disconnects from the track and you use minimal steering inputs to set the car into the corner. With the 2017 update the tires feel more connected to the track and that feel carries from entry, center, and exit much better than it currently does. The chassis feels stiffer, more planted and “in” the race track, making everything feel much more natural and in control. Currently, during most races drivers will short pit after 30 laps or so on a mile and a half track simply because the car is too loose and the tire fall-off is so dramatic. With this new update, on a mile and a half tracks the balance stays consistent throughout a whole fuel run and the tire fall-off tops-out around 2.6-3.0 seconds with a reasonably well-balanced race car. So in summary, the update will make the cars a lot more realistic in terms of suspension geometry and aero. Also, the new garage limits will force people into a more realistic box in terms of the setups they can create. The end result is a more controllable driving physics model . . . and this was accomplished even without adding what we have learned from dirt development to the tire model! Finally it is our hope to get the new Toyota Monster Energy Cup car 3D model into next week’s build. But we are cutting it close. If it does not arrive on the 29th expect it shortly after. Along with the 2017 contingency updates the release next week will have the updated rear spoiler and shark fins on the Ford and Chevy Cup cars as well.
